An annual gig race from Clovelly around Lundy Island and back. Cornish pilot gigs were designed to carry pilots out to ships inbound to the ports around the South West.The first one alongside got the job, so speed and seaworthiness were critical. The modern gig is still built to the same specifications. This is not racing in calm estuarine waters, but ocean racing, battling against wave after wave in what is, after all, nothing more than a large rowing boat.There are only about 140 active gigs in the world.
